Update: We got him back, after a 7-hour trip there, and a 7-hour trip back. He was really glad to see us, and seems to be ready to change (notice the "seems").
I've offered to help him with his finances, IF he gets, and keeps, a job. I will not be paying off his bills, but will help him maintain control of the money. He'll be calling the companies he owes money on monday, see if he can arrange for a deal - if he can, we can get him back on track.
We've been in this situation before (less extreme, though), and he's made such promises before. We'll see what happens this time - I just hope he really means it.
